This is a mystery to me since IWFM.

First check the permissions of the two files:

	flashplayer.xpt
	libflashplayer.so

They should be root:root:755

Then open a Konsole and run:

	nspluginscan

Do you get any errors about: 'flash'?  You can use:

	nspluginscan 2>&1 | grep flash

if there is a lot of output.

Then try (in Konqueror):

	http://www.eye4u.com/

{it takes a little while to load}

If this doesn't work, then open the: "Plugins" section of the Konqueror KCM 
and go to: "Plugins" tab.  Is: "libflashplayer.so" listed in the window?
